Hi! I'm Elizabeth Ann and I'm so glad you decided to visit my blog! I spend my days mothering while crafting, cooking, blogging, creating, learning, and dreaming - but through all this I just want to get more of Jesus and love him more.

And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything, in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17

To every person there comes in their lifetime that special moment when you are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered a chance to do a very special thing, unique to you and your talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds you unprepared or unqualified for work which could have been your finest hour.

I have a really awesome family. Very supportive and fun and generous. We are all pretty spread out geographically, but once a year my mother-in-law pulls us all together, and I am so thankful. Although we have had reunions every summer since babies started popping into the picture this year was the first annual Cousin Camp! I arrived a little late to the scene (4 hours) and by the time I arrived grandma had already taught the campers their camp theme song {You are My Sunshine} and helped them decorate their camp shirts! The next six days were a whirlwind of all the things: movies, swimming, museums, playing at home, laughing, hugging, biting {betcha can't guess who got his badge in that activity}.

There were even treats for the grownups, like a night out on the town and a girls afternoon of pedicures! I put together a little video of our week on that video app I was telling you about, Animoto. Take a look!
